Hello there,
I wanted to share something that I think genuinely matters, not just politically or culturally, but professionally for all of us who work in marketing, media, communications, HR, and leadership.
I’ve launched a public campaign calling for an independent, public-facing review of BBC editorial governance, following the Panorama controversy. Not to relitigate the incident but to make sure the deeper issues around trust, accountability, and power inside public institutions aren’t quietly forgotten as the news cycle moves on.
Here’s why I think this matters for people like us:
We all operate in an environment where trust is increasingly fragile.
Audiences are sceptical.
Employees are sceptical.
Clients are sceptical.
And the organisations that shape public narratives, media, platforms, institutions, set the tone for how trust is built, lost, and repaired.
This isn’t about criticising the BBC or journalism, it’s about strengthening the systems that make trust possible in the first place.
That’s something worth standing for professionally as well as personally.
If you agree, I’d really appreciate two small things:
